Supercharge Your Growth With Today’s Leading Minds
My Journey
I’ve always been inspired by my humanitarian mother Suzi, entrepreneurial father Iliya, and intellectual brother Vidal. When I was 11, we moved from Turkey to Scotland. I was the only foreigner in my school, and couldn’t speak a word of English. As I struggled to adapt, I became obsessed with the importance of learning and community when it comes to living a fulfilling life and making a positive impact on the world.
My inspiration for IVY has been strongly influenced by my experiences at Brown University and Harvard Business School which followed my time in Scotland. Leading universities have a proven track record of substantially accelerating social, professional, and intellectual development. Together today’s most inspiring business leaders and leading experts, we are cultivating a new kind of community that stands to provide the same benefits to all business leaders for life, together with their teams, clients, and families.
Chaos Theory illustrates how something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway across the world. Similarly, our words and actions initiate chain reactions that carry the ripples of our impact across space and time. Each positive word and action elevates the lives of those who cross our path. They in turn share elements of our positive influence in their subsequent interactions. This spreads our positive influence across the world and into the future. Vice versa, every time we fall short on our interactions with others, a similarly everlasting negative chain reaction ensues. We therefore have limitless potential, and responsibility.
Based on hundreds of interviews with the leading minds of our time, we have found that there are two critical ingredients needed to be our best, and to bring the best out of our teams and clients. These two ingredients are deep learning and deep connection. The more we learn about ourselves and the world, the better we can navigate each moment and interaction. To turn these learnings into high-impact actions, we need to connecting deeply with our colleagues, clients, and families.
With this principle in mind, we curate, distill, and deliver transformative insights from today’s leading minds to galvanize deep learning and connection to elevate your life, as well as the lives of your team, clients, and loved ones. I look forward to getting to know you better, and hope we have a chance to learn and grow together!
